Got a vacuum sealer for food for Christmas. Figure I could seal pipe tobacco as well. Has choice of seal or vacuum and seal. Which would be better? Add a boveda for stuff on the dryer side ?

    Just depends on how long you plan on storing it. Longer term I’d vacuum seal it. Boveda wouldn’t hurt anything but once it’s sealed it’s not going to lose or gain any moisture.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    KBV vacuum seals their stuff. I have done it both ways for long storage.

    Another route is large mylar bags. I like to use those for the trays that the Gawith companies use.

    Another storage question. Will putting the label in the jar affect the tobacco? Should I tape the label to the outside of the jar instead?

    while it likely won't make a noticeable difference I would play it safe and stick the label to the outside.
